NASA’s mission to Bennu has been a success! The spacecraft Osiris-Rex has successfully collected over 60 grams of samples from the asteroid’s surface. This is the largest amount of material ever gathered from an asteroid, and it will provide us with unprecedented insight into the early solar system. Scientists are hopeful that these samples may offer clues about the origin of life on Earth. We can’t wait to see what this asteroid has in store for us!
